1960s supercars

By Tim Pollard and Ben Oliver 10 July 2008 16:00 Supercars in the Sixties The swinging ’60s spawned many joyous things – and its spirit of liberalisation applied equally to the motor car.

Nissan 370Z Nismo vs Wingsuit – Nissan try to be Top Gear

Nissan 370Z Nismo Vs Wingsuit That was five years ago, so Nissan obviously feel enough time has passed to plagiarise Top Gear’s stunt without too much criticism, so they’ve decided to pit a man in a wingsuit – who isn’t Red Devils – against a man in a car that isn’t a Porsche. So we have Peter Pyzera - Germany’s 2012 Nissan GT Academy Champion – in a 370Z Nismo blatting his way down Switzerland’s Susten Pas as it falls 4,501 feet and BASE jumper Dave Barlia in a wingsuit doing the same. Peter Pyzera said after the stunt: That was absolutely amazing, I could see Dave up above me and I just had to concentrate and get in the zone to beat him down.
